Edgbaston Family Law

My first call to Gary Banks was in August 2023, during one of the most difficult periods of my life. From the moment I spoke with Gary, I knew I was in the right place. His professionalism, thorough due diligence, and guidance gave me confidence that I would be able to maintain precious time with the children. The journey has been incredibly challenging, but Gary was truly a guardian and a rock throughout the entire process. He was always there whenever I called or emailed, and he consistently responded with care and professionalism. He always provided the best advice while keeping the children’s best interests at the heart of everything. Gary understood what I had been through and made a very difficult process easier to navigate. Family proceedings can be exhausting and emotionally draining, but his straightforward, clear, and no-nonsense approach helped me stay focused and reassured. In court, Gary was exceptional. He was calm, confident, and assertive when needed — exactly the person you want standing beside you during such an important time. His thoughtfulness, knowledge, and expertise are truly admirable and deserve the highest respect. A small but meaningful example of his dedication was that he even remembered my children’s birthday were approaching during a call, which is remarkable considering the number of clients he supports. I am incredibly grateful to say that I now have a joint live with order for our children. My mother and, most importantly, the children and I will forever be thankful for everything Gary has done. The tears, stress, and uncertainty we experienced can finally begin to ease, and we can look forward to a more stable and positive future. Thank you, Gary, from the bottom of my heart. I cannot recommend Gary and his firm highly enough. If you are looking for a family solicitor who genuinely cares and will stand by you, Gary is the person you want by your side.

Gary is unhelpful and aggressive when replying to emails. Some discriminatory remarks over the phone as well related to my background. Unable to handle complex cases and quote clauses in the law when writing to the other side. He knows as much as I do from online searches. Changed my solicitor. (Yes I am using an alias which is my right. I have engaged with you in past. I don't have free time to go on reviewing solicitor's just for the sake of it.)

I have worked with a few solicitors before, but Gary has been by far the best. From the start he has shown genuine empathy, understanding, and professionalism, which makes such a difference during what is an incredibly stressful process. Family court can be overwhelming, but Gary’s support and presence in court gave me confidence and reassurance when I needed it most. He is extremely knowledgeable, clear in his advice, and always proactive in his approach. I always felt fully supported and well prepared because of him. What really sets Gary apart is that he doesn’t just do his job – he truly cares about his clients and works hard to achieve the best possible outcome. I am incredibly grateful for his support and guidance. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for a solicitor who is not only excellent at what he does, but also compassionate and genuinely committed to helping his clients.

I want to thank Gary Banks at Edgbaston Family Law for his excellent support and guidance during my recent non-molestation hearing.

Communication was excellent, I would highly recommend Gary to anyone needing family law assistance.

If you are looking for a family solicitor in Birmingham , Edgbaston Family Law are amazingly helpful. Gary assistrd me over Christmas. He was extremely responsive, very knowledgeable, quick, efficient and concise. I highly recommend using this firm. Absolutely impeccable service!!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Gary. After using a ' corporate ' family law firm, and being anilated with costs, how refreshing to come across a solicitor that not only is competent and really cares about your situation, but is very fair about his costs too. After being recommended to Gary, I was not disappointed and can only wish I had known about him before I trusted in a top family law firm, only to be disappointed by the lack of interest and focus on my case. You wont get that poor service with Gary, he is someone who has all the right experience and attributes and really wants a good outcome for you.

I can't recommend my experience with Gary at Edgbaston Family Law enough! From our first conversation, it was clear that he wasn't just another solicitor; he genuinely cares about his clients. Gary's expertise and advice were extremely helpful, and he made everything feel much less overwhelming. His communication is excellent—he kept me informed throughout the entire process, ensuring I understood what was happening and what to expect. I never felt like just another case; he took the time to listen to my concerns and provided practical advice that truly made a difference. What really impressed me was Gary's commitment to achieving the best outcome. He worked diligently on my case, conducting thorough research and advocating strongly on my behalf in court. His confidence and negotiation skills also helped to soothe my worries during a stressful period. Additionally, he’s genuinely a nice guy who builds real relationships with his clients. His fees are reasonable, considering the high level of service he offers, and you can tell he truly wants what’s best for you, especially when children are involved. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Gary! If you require legal assistance, he's the person you want fighting in your corner.
